Getting ready for the Young Media Summit in Tunis!

Kübra Gümüsay, one of the participants from Germany

If you’ve been checking out our Facebook page you would of course know that the Young Media Summit in Tunis is coming up later this month: 28 – 30 November.

DW-AKADEMIE in cooperation with Kalima and Nawaat have invited 30 young bloggers from Tunisia, Marocco, Algeria, Libya, Mauritania and Germany to discuss the political situation in the region, the role of bloggers and social media, and the quality standards of online-reporting.

We are very much looking forward to hearing directly from bloggers in Tunisia and Libya about their experiences during the uprisings in their countries.

The Young Media Summit will also cover: ethics in new media, safety and security of bloggers in times of crisis as well as project funding for citizen media.

To find out more about our participants, keep checking the YMS Facebook page, the YMS Twitter feed and of course here on our blog to follow the events at the conference.
